Christmas has come early for genre fans this year with the release of MaXXXine, the third and perhaps not-so-final part of a horror trilogy that began in 2022 with X, a splatterfest set in the ’70s porn industry. Mia Goth was director Ti West’s leading lady, playing both Maxine Mink, the leading lady of the skinflick being made (The Farmer’s Daughters), and her crazy old nemesis, Pearl, who most violently objects to the goings on at her and her husband’s respectable Texas farmstead. For the second film, Pearl — a near-instant prequel — Goth resumed the title role, but in the latest, and for now the last, she reverts to Maxine Mink.
In the neon-lit, Hi-NRG world of MaXXXine, Maxine, it transpires, has escaped the notorious “Texas Porn-Shoot Massacre” without a scratch to her rep, and is about to embark on a legitimate acting career in a mid-range Hollywood horror film, The Puritan II, being shot by British diva-director Elizabeth Bender (Elizabeth Debicki). Maxine’s past catches up with her, however, when a sleazy private eye (Kevin Bacon) gets on her tail, threatening to reveal all. She has bigger fish to fry, though, since a satanic, leather-gloved serial killer — possibly the notorious Richard Ramirez, AKA The Night Stalker — is on the loose, and her friends in the sex-work business are firmly within his (or her) sights.
Though the film has fun with ’80s tropes — big hair, neon lighting, electro-pop hits (like Animotion’s “Obsession”) and the “Satanic Panic” that saw the likes of Judas Priest accused of hiding secret messages in their music — MaXXXine doggedly continues the throughline of West’s films in its investigation and subversion of movie tropes, notably a scene that sees Maxine chased by Bacon’s PI into the

The last time we saw Maxine Minx (Mia Goth), she had barely survived a porn shoot massacre in the middle of Texas. One of her last lines in that particular movie, 2022’s “X,” saw her parroting her father, a television preacher with the mantra, “I will not accept a life I do not deserve.” Now, after an impressive prequel centered on Maxine’s initial adversary, “Pearl,” our heroine returns in the third chapter of Ti West’s gore thriller trilogy, “MaXXXine.” And, you could say Hollywood would never be the same if the movie wasn’t such an obvious and intentional homage to seedy, LA kitsch.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo was interviewed on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” (via Mediaite) and said she’s got a target on her back in Hollywood because she’s an actor who does not endorse Joe Biden for president.

Sabrina Carpenter has said that there is no tension between her and Taylor Swift, following her recent campaign with SKIMS.The speculation about the friendship between Carpenter and Swift came into question when the former partnered up with SKIMS – the clothing brand founded by Kim Kardashian – earlier this year.Previously, Carpenter had joined Swift as a support act for many of her huge ‘Eras’ tour dates, and openly shared her appreciation for the pop star on a number of occasions. However, some fans weren’t happy about the collaboration with Kardashian, given the reality star’s ongoing feud with the ‘Midnights’ singer.Swift and Kardashian’s relationship has been a topic of public scrutiny since 2016, when Kardashian defended her then-husband Kanye West’s mention of Swift in his track ‘Famous’, in which he claimed he “made that bitch famous”.She then insisted that Swift had given him permission to include her in the song and released footage of a phone call between Swift and West about the inclusion of similar lyrics to those that were released, which Swift has since said was recorded “illegally” and “edited”.Swift addressed the situation again in her December 2023 Time Person of the Year interview.
